Steps

1

Peel and chop cucumbers. I half them lengthwise, half them again lengthwise and then chop into big bite size pieces. Dice tomatoes. Lightly toss both in a medium bowl.
2

In a small bowl - mix together oil, vinegar, sugar, basil, salt and pepper.
3

Pour oil mixture over cucumbers and tomatoes. Gently mix. Refrigerate covered for a few hours for flavors to blend.
4

Serve salad with freshly ground pepper and sprinkle a bit of mozzarella cheese on top (however much you prefer - I use about a tablespoon on each serving) Enjoy : )
